In a dazzling revelation during ‘Strictly Come Dancing,’ Olly Alexander embraces Eurovision dreams, set to charm Sweden in 2024.
Pop sensation Olly Alexander is set to represent the United Kingdom at the Eurovision Song Contest in Sweden next year. The announcement was made during the live final of ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ on Saturday evening (16 December), adding a touch of glamour to the popular dance show.
Expressing his excitement, Alexander shared, “I love Eurovision so much; it’s a dream come true.” The singer, known for his solo career after fronting the band Years and Years, will perform a song co-written by himself and Danny L Harle, a producer with a track record of hits for artists like Dua Lipa and Charli XCX.
Apart from his musical prowess, Alexander boasts an impressive acting background, starring in Channel 4’s acclaimed ‘It’s a Sin’ and featuring in films such as ‘Enter the Void’ and ‘Gulliver’s Travels.’
The UK’s representative for the 2023 Eurovision, Mae Muller, finished in 25th place. In contrast, the 2023 winner, Loreen from Sweden, secured victory with her powerful performance of “Tattoo.” Loreen is now the second contestant to win Eurovision twice, following Irish singer Johnny Logan’s dual triumph in 1980 and 1987. As anticipation builds for Eurovision 2024, Olly Alexander’s fans eagerly await the unveiling of the song that will grace the stage in Malmo next May.
